Map / Historischer Meilerplatz
Holzkohle war vor noch nicht allzu langer Zeit ein sehr wichtiger Brennstoff, um bei Schmelzvorgängen jene Temperaturen zu erreichen, die mit Holz nicht erzielt werden konnten. Für viele Handwerksgilden war die Holzkohle ein unverzichtbarer Brennstoff, wie für die Salzsiederei, die Glasherstellung oder die Verhuttung von Erzen. Die Köhlerei und die Holzkohleproduktion sind erst im Zuge der modernen Industriealisierung durch die Verwendung anderer Brennstoffe ersetzt worden und dadurch immer mehr in Vergessenheit geraten.
Die historische Holzkohleherstellung wird hier anhand eines Schaumeilers veranschaulicht.. Alle 2 – 3 Jahre richtet die Gemeinde Rehlingen-Siersburg an diesem Platz ein Köhlerfest aus, bei dem in einem 8 Tage andauernden traditionellen Verfahren Holzkohle hergestellt wird.
